Stéphane Rican

Stéphane Rican is a Lecturer at Paris Nanterre University specializing in Geography (Section CNU 23), with contact details including telephone +33 (0)1 40 97 75 53 and email srican@parisnanterre.fr.

His research centers on territorial dynamics and health interrelationships, particularly:

• Social and territorial inequalities in health across France (examining conditions, determinants, care accessibility, and utilization)
• Socio-territorial restructuring impacts on health in France and Europe
• Urban environment-health linkages in Île-de-France and European peri-urban spaces

Methodologically, he employs longitudinal socio-residential trajectory analyses and develops localized disadvantage indicators. Current work investigates demographic shifts, area connectivity, and segregation effects on mortality redistribution. Applied research includes cancer screening access in Île-de-France, green spaces-health relationships, student health, and localized COVID-19 impacts.

Key leadership roles include:

• CCD Section 23/24 Member (2008–2016, 2019–2023)
• Co-head of "Territories, cities and health" Master's program (2015–2023)
• Ladyss laboratory's "Health issues and territories" axis lead (2015–2018)
• Health Geography Commission (CNFG) President (2013–2015) and Secretary (2009–2012)
• Scientific committee member for cancer epidemiological surveillance (2017–2022)
• CNAMTS and Inserm expertise roles (2011–2013)

His work bridges theoretical advancement in health geography with practical public health interventions through interdisciplinary collaboration.
